Worth £12,000?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a DCCD widetrack blob and came across this:
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...60-bhp/1762270#
I know it's rare and in good nick with more power but is it really worth £12,000?
Any thought would be very much appreciated.
Richard

the white cars command a premium as they are rare.
if it is a genuine white one from the factory then it is rare and worth a premium over a more common coloured car but 12k is still steep.
i guess its how much you like white.

To me i'd say it's worth £8.5/9k, if I really wanted a white one I might stretch to £9.5k, but £12k is taking the p!ss, i'd sooner buy one for £8k and have it colour changed for £2k and spend the other £2k on a turbo and map it to run 450bhp.

I'd expect a mint blobeye widetrack with a ppp or miltek/ecutek equivalent to reach £10k but adding a couple of grand because it's white wouldn't be worth it for me.
As Danny Boyyyyy says I guess it depends how much you like white!
If you want one for four figures hold out for another example or put a cheeky bid of 9995 in for that one in a few weeks because chances are it'll still be there.

Also on PH is this: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...wr-ltd/1730693
As has been said, if you like the colour, and given the rarity, it might tempt you to pay a little more than someone else would.
But that one above is £1k less, rare because of the model, not the colour and with guaranteed specialist history.
(A year older, more miles perhaps but still).
That also makes the white one look expensive.
Btw - how can anyone say/prove that only 5 were ever produced in that colour ?

And the next sale of it will also have 'resprayed Aspen White from that ghastly WRC Blue'. 
It did go pretty quickly, so as the op's perhaps implied - was it very much less?
And I agree with CrewJ - they'll never admit it.
Never mind, there's hope for Litchfield owners if an 06 JDM STi is advertised at £12K.
Might have to consider a respray though........

New question - also £12,000! Worth it? Couple of tiny scratches but there is a large stone chip that has gone through to the metal on the roof.
